I thought Carbon fibre was very bad at dealing with point loads, that's why I've avoided the pin/bolt method so far. But the outer shim idea is a good one, need to measure my tubes. One of my colleagues, a techie guys, suggested super glue on the inside and wrapping strip soaked in epoxy on the outside. Could end up looking like I'm ridding Frankenstein's Monster's bicycle, but then again, I often look like Frankeinstein's Monster anyway.
Metriod - nice bike. How can you retire such a beaut? Or have you acquired a much fancier steed?
Wyrmskull - Microballoons are used for filler right, no strength properties?
